Sony NEX-7 Review: Introduction

Sony NEX-7
I recently decided to upgrade, well, no, upgrade probably isn't quite the right word, supplement is probably better.

Right, let's start again!

I recently decided to supplement my bulky Nikon DSLR gear with a serious CSC model camera.

I'd previously owned both a Panasonic G1 and Panasonic GF1, and whilst they were good, especially the GF1, they didn't offer me the image quality, or the end user experience I was after.

After a lot of research, I decided to buy into Sony's NEX system, and opted to purchase the Sony NEX-7.

The NEX-7 is an excellently specified camera. It has a 24MP APS-C sized sensor, incorporates an OLED 2.4MP EVF, has a tilting rear LCD display, a built in flash, a Sony hotshoe mount, an ISO that ranges from 100-16000, can deliver images at 10 frames per second, and has as a whole host of exposure, metering and focussing modes.

Whilst it is not the intention of this review to explain or describe all of the modes and functions, I would like to try and explain how I've found the camera in use.

With this in mind, I've split my article into a number of different topics, each of which I'll post about during the next few days. I'll also post accompanying images with each article.

Here are the topics...

2. Optics
3. EVF
